Don’t let the pandemic prevent you from seeking mentors! Join the AIA LA Women in Architecture (WiA) to network and learn from Los Angeles’ top professionals at our annual Speed Mentoring event.  (Scroll down to discover just a few of this year’s mentors.)

Speed Mentoring is like speed dating (remember that?) – but replace the regret and awkward silences with wisdom, opportunity, and a fresh perspective on your career and the industry we love.

WiA’s Speed Mentoring employs small group discussions and a speedy exchange of information to discuss your goals and professional challenges. Over the course of multiple sessions, attendees will interact with architects and designers of all professional levels. The evening is an efficient way to rapidly build your network and exchange strategies of success in the design profession. The end result: thought provoking conversations delivered FAST.

WiA members, nonmembers, designers, and students are welcome to attend. Fun zoom backgrounds, tasty beverages, and pets are welcome as well!
